Frasier – Seven – 1

frasier season seven part one small black beetles: the overkill
DAPHNE: That's it! I'm getting my door soundproofed.
MARTIN: See what I mean? People think you're stuffy.
You know with your opera parties, and your wine
parties and your seasoned crepe pans.
FRASIER: In my defense, Niles is the only one who
seasons his crepe pans.
NILES: Which is the precisely why I've had the same
set since the ninth grade, thank you very much!
MARTIN: My point is, you guys could never resist
putting on airs. Even when you were in junior
high, you used to love that TV program... "The
Avengers". You used to run all over the
neighborhood pretending you were that guy with
the umbrella… Steve.
FRASIER: Steed! There were worse role models. Steed
was dapper and witty. When anyone tried to give
him grief, he gave them a sound thrashing with
the umbrella.
MARTIN: Well, that's great, admire him if you want. But
did you have to run through the neighborhood in
bowler hats? You were just begging to get beat up.
FRASIER: Come to think of it, it was rather a rough
summer that year, wasn't it?
NILES: I remember getting a chin strap, so the
bowler wouldn't fall off when I ran.
MARTIN: And all that did was make you look like
Elizabeth Taylor in "National Velvet". My point is, if
you go down to the station and read that over the air
then you might as well go down there in a great big
bowler hat. I mean, people are never going to let you
forget it.
DAPHNE: You know, it's funny hearing you talk about
"The Avengers". My first Halloween in America, I
went to a party dressed as Mrs. Peel. Head to toe in
that skin tight black leather catsuit. Come to think
of it, I still have it somewhere, and Halloween's
coming up.
